The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 187 The People You Can't Kill, I'll Kill for You
Beneath the Nine Netherworlds, not all is a place of rampant demons.

Over the years, these great evil spirits have long since formed their own power, just as mentioned earlier, the Nine Netherworlds are divided and each has its own territory.

Among them, the greatest evil is the "Lord of the Central Netherworld" in the Nine Netherworlds.

This evil spirit's strength is equivalent to that of a peak second-grade Qitian Realm cultivator.

If it could leave the Netherworld and come to the mortal realm, coupled with the inherent attributes of evil spirits, it would definitely be a super boss.

And this is indeed the case in the later "Nine Netherworlds Descend" side quest.

The "Lord of the Central Netherworld" plus the "Lord of the Four Phases" are the two bosses that must be killed in this side quest. If they are not killed, this side quest will fail and the "One Thought of Compassion" ending will be entered.

If one enters the "One Thought of Compassion" ending, then evil spirits will invade the entire present world, the balance between the two worlds will be broken, and the entire world will collapse and perish.

That's the ending that the "Four-Phase Robbery Lord" most wanted to see.

However, the great passage between the Nine Netherworlds and the mortal world has not yet been opened, and Lü Fuyi and the "Lord of the Central Netherworld" have only made contact a few times through the rift.

Gu Fangchen is currently impersonating Lü Fuyi and making contact with Jiuyou, so the chances of her being exposed are very low.

The great evil spirit was a lump of filthy flesh and blood, but upon hearing this, it was startled and realized that the oppressive feeling of the golden wheel was real. After hesitating for a moment, it transformed into the appearance of a human cultivator in red robes.

He is Ruoye, a ghost general under the command of the "Lord of the Central Netherworld".

He also knew that their Netherworld Prison had recently cooperated with the "Extinction" Path in the mortal world, and he sensed the causal aura on Gu Fangchen's body. He said in a deep voice:
"We, the Lords of the Netherworld, are currently in seclusion and have no time to appear. What brings you here?"

He can speak human language, but he's clearly not very good at it anymore. His accent is extremely heavy and sounds like that of a wild man who has been isolated for a long time, and most people can't understand him at all.

Fortunately, Gu Fangchen had listened to it eight hundred times in the game and knew exactly what each syllable meant.

Gu Fangchen wanted to avoid seeing the "Lord of the Central Prison" so that she could manipulate things more easily.

Taking advantage of the fact that both sides are now essentially out of contact, he can spout nonsense without anyone being able to correct him.

His expression was solemn, and he cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"The Lord of Calamity is also preparing to open a passage to connect the Nine Netherworlds and the mortal world. Therefore, he needs the cooperation of the Nine Netherworlds. Time is of the essence, so please lend me your help."

Ruoye did not suspect anything.

After all, not everyone can physically travel to the Nine Netherworlds.

The moment this person spoke, he called himself the Lord of Calamity, and it was clear that they were planning to connect the two realms, so he must be one of their own!

Ruoye continued in that awkward human language:
"How do you expect us to cooperate?"

Gu Fangchen grinned, took out a formation diagram, and said:
"Please help me set up this formation."

When Ruoye took a look, she saw that it was a rough map of the Nine Netherworlds, and the array was located in the Eastern Netherworld and the Southeast Netherworld. She became even more convinced that these were definitely her own people.

In the present world, who would be so familiar with the geography of the Nine Netherworlds?
Ruoye did not understand human formations, but she knew that those two areas were where the turbid energy of the Nine Netherworlds gathered.

The Lord of the Netherworld once said that these turbid energies were formed from the resentment of the souls of the dead who were crushed in the Nine Netherworlds.

If we were to draw an analogy, it would be similar to the dragon veins of a modern nation!

However, this one in the Nine Netherworld is the "Wrathful Dragon Vein." Once it takes shape, it will become a first-grade evil spirit, which even he cannot deal with.

Unfortunately, the time required for this "Wrathful Dragon Vein" to condense is too long, making it difficult for it to truly take shape.

Perhaps it will be another ten thousand years before this evil spirit has a chance to emerge...

Ruoye asked in confusion:

"What kind of formation is this? What is the Lord of Calamity planning to do?"

Gu Fangchen narrowed her eyes, looked up at the "Bottom of the Underworld" above, and smiled:

"This formation is called, 'Upside Down Heaven and Earth'."

"As the saying goes, 'An army marches on its stomach.' When the two worlds are connected, we should start with the earth's veins. If there are such veins in the present world as anchor points, you will have the support of this turbid energy and will not have to worry about not being able to adapt to the present world environment."

In fact, this was the formation that the "Extinction" Dao later used to support the invasion of evil spirits.

Its effect is to move this "evil dragon vein" from the Netherworld to the present world!
Gu Fangchen's purpose in building up Gu Yuye's image was not only to expose his true colors, but more importantly, to send him to hell at the moment when he was most complacent!

The dragon vein that Gu Yuye is now given is a fake created by the "Qing" Dao in conjunction with the Dugu family using a "mirage array".

He thought himself clever, believing that once he obtained the prestige that the dragon vein would bring him, he would have nothing to worry about.

Even if the Demonic Sect later claims it's fake, it doesn't matter. He has already gained momentum, and destiny is on his side, which is enough for him to call a deer a horse.

But Gu Fangchen is determined to turn the fake into the real!

Upon hearing this, Ruoye was also stunned, and then excitedly said:

"Excellent! Excellent! I'll gather my men right away. Thank you so much, messenger!" He imitated the polite greetings he remembered from the present world, and said warmly.

"Would the messenger like to rest...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Fangchen in front of him vanished in a flash.

Ruoye paused, holding the blueprints in her hand, and sighed:
"This envoy is truly decisive and efficient..."

……

Wenwu Pagoda.

Xu Fu sat cross-legged, making hand seals and chanting incantations.

A huge starry sky and water mirror appeared behind her head.

Within the water mirror, the Milky Way flows and forms an extremely complex celestial destiny chart.

Below, Cao Tianzhou, thin and bony, squinted as he looked up at the long-lost sunlight, holding a rusty longsword in his hand.

At his feet lay two desiccated corpses, one large and one small, covered with tattered clothes.

Countless scriptures swirled around him, forming an impenetrable barrier.

He sensed what Xu Fu wanted to do, raised his hand, and saw red lines appearing on his body.

That is the causal line of the "Six Star Lords".

By severing this line, a corner of the destiny chart woven by the Six Star Lords through their own karmic threads will be cut away.

The art of cause and effect must be performed based on the birth chart.

Therefore, once this causal line is severed, it is not actually one-sixth of the cultivation of the "Six Star Lords", but at least half!
From then on, his causal magic was no longer complete, and he could no longer conceal his own karma from Xu Fu!
"Alas... You've lived half your life in vain, accomplishing nothing. Cao Tianzhou, you truly are a piece of trash."

"In the end, even this life wasn't my own."

Cao Tianzhou sighed deeply and shook his head with a wry smile.

He had been clinging to life in this Demon-Suppressing Prison, thinking that if he ever got out, he would definitely behead the scoundrel who had defiled his wife and daughters.

But unexpectedly, that day never came...

"Cao Tianzhou, I lent you a life, and I'll return it to you."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar young man's voice came from above.

Cao Tianzhou was taken aback. He looked closely and saw a handsome young man leaning out and extending his hand towards him.

"Give me the knife."

"The people you can't kill, I'll kill for you."

……

Lu Mingyuan clutched his broken arm, breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping down his forehead and back.

He had never been so pathetic in his life.

Only now did he see what his enemy looked like...

The woman in the green dress raised her hand and once again pointed her sword finger at him.

The sword intent soared into the sky!

"No! Senior, stop! I don't want this dragon vein anymore!"

Lu Mingyuan finally broke down, shouted, and threw the little dragon in his hand back into the Wenwu Tower below.

Then, with a sinister look in his eyes, he formed a hand seal and started the battle again.

"Boom!"

The grand formation unfolded, enveloping the Wenwu Tower and locking Xiaolong and Gu Fangchen in place!
"Give me the town!"

Lu Mingyuan pressed down with his hand, and the great formation lit up, exerting pressure on Gu Fangchen with the force of suppressing evil spirits.

He has never lost face like this in his entire life!
No matter what, Gu Fangchen must die today!
